Is there anything that you guys ever wanted for the c63 but they didn't make?
I know one thing that everyone wanted but never got was non carbon fiber aftermarket diffusers and lips. The few that were out were rather 'lack luster.'

Well, I get that we would all like a manual trans, but your statement is just 100% wrong. Paddle shift times are much faster and more consistent than you could ever possibly do as a human on a manual trans. It's about twice as fast if not more. Period. There's no argument about it because it's a fact.

Your transmission must be better than mine because mine will climb another 500 rpm minimum (closer to 800 rpm on the 1-2 shift) before shifting after hitting the paddle. That absolutely does not happen in a manual.
Lol, in my old cobra, i could shift without lifting the throttle off the floor and the rpm wouldn't move 200 rpm
So to your point, during the actual shifting, no I am not faster but I am including the total time from actual activating the paddle to the time the car actually goes into the next gear. That I am faster at in a manual car.
Now, here is where I show my lack of knowledge BUT:
Could you not potentially buy a c300 with a manual trans and just swap the trans? Pricey put could be well worth it; or would this not work due to the engine?
:S
Also I've heard of AMG's getting like 26, it's probably possible....
My highway mpg is rated at 26mpg and if I'm not going 100 I can get nearly 30. :S

An M156 getting 26 mpg?! Is that downhill drafting off of a semi? This AMG can't get 26. Not even according to the optomistic instrument cluster.
And I'd be willing to bet that an M156 would just shred a manual designed for a non-AMG engine.

I came from a 2009 C300 w/ a 6 speed manual. That transmission was fantastic. One of the easiest clutches I've ever used as well.
I doubt it would mount up to the M156 engine though. Even if it did I don't think it would hold up for very long. Those C300s push about ~228hp stock. Big difference compared to a C63

yes it is. The production value is amazing. Like a damn movie every episode.
